This is a great, great moment in your life! You have just entered into one of the few sites that will allow people with disabilities/challenges to communicate, learn, laugh, cry, hope and dream with each other!

Whatever our disability(differently-abled)-challenge is, it is NOT, the verdict in OUR lives!  We are ALL alive and well! We will NOT stop living and advancing because of the challenges in our life!

On May 3, 2002, While driving I was struck by a hit-and-run driver. The impact was so hard that I was ejected out of the passenger’s window of my car! I immediately went air borne a little over 50 feet! I landed on my head. I was on life support for 2 1/2 weeks.  Today, I live with a brain injury.  “Having a brain injury does not mean that I am brain dead!” Life and living goes on!

I am also a survivor of being molested and raped.  The person who did this deplorable act to me, signed my birth certificate as “Father of Child.”

I made a promise to my God and to myself that if my God let’s me back on earth. I WILL DO GOD’S WILL!  I WILL DO WHATEVER IS ASK OF ME TO DO! I now have a purpose in life.........My proclamation is to help, serve, stand up for the advancement of my disabled/challenged brothers and sisters and children! We do need better laws to protect us! Laws that allows for better accessible entrances in some buildings. I AM YOUR ADVOCATE! THIS IS MY MOVEMENT!!!...I have made personal revisions in my life to get the job done!

Y-E-S, “A Change Has Come Over Me.” Today, my life is joyful, happy and more productive than it’s ever been, because I have accepted that I have a challenge/disability.  I have also accepted the fact that I can not control the way another person has treated me in my life, but, I can control the way I treat myself and others.  I have also allowed myself to cry when I hurt, get angry when I am mad (not get even)...These emotions are needed on our journey.  It does not mean that we are weak, but crying allows us to love ourselves , love others and finally be free of such hurts and pains.  While on my journey, I have found peace inside of myself-I am my tall glass of refreshing water all day-everyday long.  I like, love and adore myself and I will continue to “Hold On” to God’s grace, goodness and mercy.  In the year of 2006 I was Oprah’s International Chairperson for the disabled for Oprah’s run to win the Nobel Peace Prize (under Rocky Twyman , Director of Oprah 4 Nobel Peace Prize).  I will continue to fight for Oprah to win such a deserving award.  I am also writing my autobiography.  My goal(s) is to have the writing completed by the year 2008.  I am also working on recording inspirational/motivational CDs.  Stay tuned for more things to come in the future.  If you want to keep track to see whatever I am doing just Google my name, Chandra Leigh Brown.
